Here is the sermon synopsis for Feb. 28, 2021.  We hope to see you all on the Zoom service at 10:00, hopefully being broadcast from the Church Sanctuary!  (The video will also be available on the church Facebook page and on this website.)

Scripture is Mark 8:34-38. Jesus has the word from above that he is the Christ. Peter has declared Jesus to be the Messiah. But then Jesus tells the disciples that he has to die. And in today's text, Jesus says that in order to be his disciple, each one must:
       Deny himself.  This is not self-denial which involves what we do, but  it is rather denial of self, which is what  we are.
       Take up his cross. This is not some difficult task but rather is taking up  death itself.
       Follow Jesus. This is not just reading about what Jesus did, but rather obeying his instruction.
       Make  the choice between gaining the whole world, or gaining one's soul.
